Pre-authentication failure

When we use the am_kinit command to test an AIX®, Linux®, or Solaris server key table, you receive the following error:

Unable to obtain initial credentials. Status 0x96c73a18
Preauthentication failed. 

The key in the key table is incorrect. A common reason is the password for the principal in the Active Directory server was changed. In this case, regenerate the key table. If the password was not changed, make sure that you generated the key table correctly using the correct principal name, Active Directory user name, and path.
